Who this book is for
This book is for those with an introductory understanding of networking, at least networking terms such as subnets. Prior knowledge of firewalls would be helpful but is not required. Most important is a desire and willingness to "get your hands dirty", in both setting up your firewall and understanding how to utilize it to protect your home and business.
